Football

Caleb Downs' father, Gary, spent seven years in the NFL, so he knows a thing or two about what a good football player looks like. So, it speaks volumes when his father says Downs is blessed like few others. "It's like God just appointed him or anointed him with the ability to play football," Gary Downs told Fox Sports. "We saw it right away when he was six years old. He dominated then like he does now." Coming out of high school as an On3 Consensus five-star prospect, Downs earned All-America honors as a true freshman at Alabama before transferring to Ohio State ahead of his sophomore season. He racked up 107 tackles, two interceptions and forced one fumble in 2023. Downs is viewed as such an athletic weapon that he is open to playing both sides of the ball during the rest of his college career. "He can do it," Ohio State coach Ryan Day. " “We felt like in recruiting that I watched him play against Buford in a high school game, one of the best games I’ve ever seen. He was on both sides of the ball, he was returning kicks, he was running the ball, and I was like this guy can play running back at Ohio State. Like now.”
